Reideer Tilda

I'm hooked on images from Magnolia Stamps. I was inspired to make this card by a card on the back cover of the Magnolia issue #4.

I used the Reindeer Tilda stamp and the Christmas word stamp. The Christmas word stamp was stamped using Versacolor pine green ink. Tilda was stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copics. I used a Martha Stewart punch for the pine branches and Hero Arts Poinsetta's. I used the new Scalloped, Lace edged Nestabilities. The Christmas Greetings stamps is from Stampendous.

Make N' Take

I had a successful craft fair yesterday at BCBSKC. I sold 86 cards and now I have to make more so that I can some ready for the next craft fair and also some for me to mail too.

Today I attended a make n' take at Scrapbook Page and this card is from that make n' take. The stamps are from Stampendous. The image was stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copics.

Last Saturday make n' take

Finally for today, I posting a cute make n' take from Stamper's Ink from this past Saturday. I didn't get to the make n' take on Saturday, but I was lucky that Dolores at Stamper's Ink had made up some kits with the new cute Sophie on skates from the newest release of Riley stamps.

The card uses a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 white base. The green cs is from Prism. The pink snowflake paper is from BoBunny. The image was colored with Copics. YG06, YG03, and YG00 were used on Sopie's skating outfit. I used a Flourscent pink copic on Sopie's skates. I then added Stardust Stickles to Sopie's outfit and also to create the "ice". I think the "Holiday Wishes" is from Inkadinkado.

Retirement card

One of my former co-workers at BCBSKC has requested I make three retirement cards for her. Here is one of them. I used to stamps from Riley and Company. One of Riley caught up in a snowball reminded me how I felt sometimes while working :) The other image of Riley in a hammock indicates to me how retirement should be enjoyed.

Both images were stamped on white cs using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored both images using Copics. The other DP is from BoBunny. The sayings were computer generated.

I don't know which of the upcoming retirees from BCBSKC will get this card. However, I do hope they enjoy their retirement as much as I'm enjoying mine!

2nd of four

For those of you who don't know...I have become addicted to Magnolia stamps! This card was an idea I got from an Australian card magazine that featured some of the 2010 Christmas stamp line from Magnolia. I didn't have any gingham paper here at the house so last Saturday, I made a trip to my nearest Hobby Lobby store where I know they have some dp that is gingham.

The base card is white and is 5 1/2 X 5 1/2. The image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored with copics. The red ribbon and lacy white ribbon I had here at home. The flowers are some that were a "thank you" for purchasing some stamps from Magnolia online.

1st of four new card images today.

Finally, I figured out what my issue with the internet was...I needed a new cable modem. It's so good to be able to post things again. I tried to post via my cell phone, but that did not work. All I could post was title...a lot of good that did.

The first card today is a stamp image I purchased out in Las Vegas at the Stamp and Scrapbook Expo. The stamp is from a company called Stamp Oasis. When I saw it I thought it looked like a stamp of a Precious Moments figurine. I have a least one niece who collects Precious Moments figurines and I thought it would make a great Christmas card for her.

I used a basic white CS for the base card which is 4 1/4 X 5 1/2. I then used red card stock and some gold metallic cs I had on hand. The poinsetta flower is from Hero Arts. I used a punch to punch out the star and put a pearl in the middle of the star. I used scalloped and non scalloped ovals from Nestabilities. The image is colored with Copics.
